It was okay at best. Loud, even during the night, with a bathroom door that doesn’t even close and a shower with plumbing issues. I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s okay for 1 night.

This was the worst rooming experience I’ve ever experienced. The room was over 80 degrees hot, but the hotel staff locked the AC, saying that it is still winter and that we are not allowed to touch the AC. Nights were so hot that we could not sleep. I will never be returning to this hotel, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone.

Room was uncomfortably warm and AC would not switch to cool. I opened the window and that helped cool the room. The shower drain was clogged and the water did not drain. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drinks were very appreciated.

Great boutique hotel in West Philly

No frills and easy access to the room. Room was clean and had modern amenties. Location at 40th and Chestnut was perfect. Note there is no hotel staff on site but everything is done via text. I only wish they bad luggage storage after check out but otherwise an amazing stay!

It was great except I didn't know we were on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. So, we had to haul 5 different pieces of luggage up 3 flights of stairs to our room. Otherwise, a great stay. Very clean. Centrally located.

The place is nice and clean. However, the stairway is very narrow, making it hard to move my luggage up and down the stairs.

No AC.

Room was clean upon arrival. However the heat was BLASTING and we had no control despite there being a temperature “control” panel in the room. We tried to do everything to cool the room but it stayed at 85 each night and it was absolutely miserable.
